Yes, I had it done about 9 months ago. Most insurance company will pay for it if you claim you need to do it for medical reasons. Problems with your back, rashes. I had my breast and a tummy tuck done. I will tell you this, tummy was much less painful. I would get it done all over again but the plastic surgeons underestimate the breast surgery it was painful.

I had a breast reduction and lift when I was 23 years old. You are looking at paying between $7-10,000 It is NOT a cheap surgery!!!! I would for sure research the BEST doctors in the are that perform this augmentation because serious problems can occur if you go to someone just because they have the cheapest price. Some doctors actually do pro bono (free) breast augmentation if they are at a teaching hospital. You would just have to agree to have medical students watch. I would really look into that. If you have insurance and a doctor says your breast are giving you problems than you could go that route too.
Good luck!

I recently had a breast reduction, and if you need it, your insurance will cover you. If you have a network, check out their website for surgeons in your area. That's what I did, and my surgeon was a genius! He did the most amazing job imaginable!
First, check out your insurance website. Then, call the surgeons on the list and ask about consultations. You can probably get more than one, if you'd like.
Enjoy your surgery and the results! It will be worth it and you will love the new girls!

you can get breast reduction on the nhs; I went out with a girl who had surgery on her breasts. I think that she claimed that she was experiencing back problems.
She lost sensation in her nipples for a little while but eventually everything was back to normal and you couldn't even see the scars

My advice is to speak to your doctor. He will be far better placed to advise you than most of us!!
I understand that if you are suffering from significant psychological or physical problems due to the size of your bust, the nhs might well be able to help you. However, you might have to wait quite sometime.
Obviously, not knowing you, are you sure you are not making too much of something of which others might be envious? And also might be worth having a proper,professional bra fitting - although this will not reduce your size, it may help your appearance.
Good luck

My friend had hers done on NHS - she was a 32G and kept going to her Dr complaining of back pain so he ended up referring her (long -term cost to UK of back injuries in days lost etc exceeds cost of breast reduction so it is economically viable in these cases). She went to a C cup and lost a stone in weight from the removal of the breast tissue!

Yes it can be done on the NHS, go and chat to your doctor. If they aren't sympathetic try another one.
